Hero talent trees are one of the biggest additions to the talent system in World of Warcraft: The War Within. One of these is the Hellspell Warlock, an interesting option that provides significant damage output options for the class.
Hero Talents are specifically designed to complement existing Talents and add more depth and customization options that should keep most specs relevant in challenging activities. They also allow players to delve deeper into class fantasy and embrace new ways to play.
Since they are tied to specializations, each class has three talent trees to choose from. The exceptions to this rule, at the time of writing, are Druids, with four, and Demon Hunters, with only two.
